A man was arrested Monday after deputies found more than a dozen pounds of marijuana in his home in northwest Harris County.

Esteban Martinez-Vadrar is charged with possession of marijuana/drug-free zone, according to court documents filed in the case.

Harris County Sheriff's Office deputies said an anonymous tip about possible drug activity led them to the home in the 17900 block of Glenledi Drive. When they arrived, deputies said they smelled a strong odor of marijuana. They obtained a search warrant for the residence.

Inside, deputies said they discovered 18 pounds of marijuana with a street value of about $90,000. They also found $13,000 in cash as well as an AR-15 military-type assault rifle, two loaded handguns and two shotguns.

The home, deputies said, is less than 1,000 feet from a private school.
